Life in the Fast Lane

December 21, 2011

From the outside, Mark and Karen seem to have the perfect all-American family, including a gorgeous home and three beautiful children. But on the inside, they say their world is crumbling as their 26-year-old daughter, Lane, a stunning former cheerleader, sinks further into the world of drug addiction, and her family struggles to save her and the child they say she's neglecting.

One in six Americans doesn't know where their next meal is coming from. Join Dr. Phil in his call to action to raise enough money for 10 million meals and beat hunger in America. Donate today!

Speeding Down a Dangerous PathFeeling hopeless, Lane’s sister, Malissa, wrote Dr. Phil for help. Her brother, Chase, says Lane will disappear for days at a time and he worries she's done the unthinkable with men to support her habit. Just days before Lane was to appear on the show, she was arrested and incarcerated for allegedly harboring a fugitive. Now out on bail, Lane's cruise down life in the fast lane comes to an abrupt halt. Can this family come together to save one of their own?

Lane’s ChoiceLane comes face to face with Dr. Phil and answers the hard questions. Dr. Phil implores the young mom to be honest and doesn’t mince words when he tells her this is her last shot. Will she choose to go to rehab and get healthy once and for all, or will she give up yet again and go back to jail?
